BATTERY IDENTIFICATION
Compare the battery in your tractor (located under the
hood) with the illustration above. Type "A" batteries are
activated and are ready to use. Type "B" batteries must
be filled with battery fluid (acid) and charged before
they are put into service. Follow the instructions which
apply to the battery in your tractor.
ACTIVATING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
(TYPE "B" BATTERY ONLY)
Do not activate battery (fill with battery acid) until
battery is actually placed in service. Be certain to
read previous warnings before activating the
battery.
1. Lift the hood of the tractor. Remove the wing nuts
from the hold-down rods which secure the battery
cover to the battery. Refer to figure 12 on page 11.
Remove the battery cover. Disconnect the positive
cable from
the
positive
terminal.
Save the
hardware.
2. Remove the battery from the tractor, paying atten¬
tion to how the battery is placed in the unit, and
how the drain tube (if equipped) is routed.
3. Activate the battery as instructed in the "Quick
Start" brochure included with the battery fluid.
Read instructions carefully.
NOTE: You can continue assembling the tractor while
battery is standing for 30 minutes (after filling with
acid), and later while you are charging the battery.
IMPORTANT: To obtain the maximum life from your
battery, it MUST BE CHARGED prior to initial use.
CHARGE THE BATTERY
after the 30 minute standing
period. Battery P/N 725-1705B—Charge at 2-3 amps
for one hour. Battery P/N 725-1707B and 725-
0453E—Charge at 6 amps for one hour.
NOTE: If you charge the battery at a lower AMP rate,
use a hydrometer to make sure the battery is com¬
pletely charged. The hydrometer should read 1.260
minimum at an electrolyte temperature of 60-1ICPF.
DO NOT CHARGE AT MORE THAN 6 AMPS.
